Many pages use tables where only the first column are header

With the current algorithm for assigning header cells to data
cells, the first <th> won't be a header cell for any data cells.
Can't 'scope="row"' be used?
In order to be more compatible with existing content, and in order to
not require authors to use more complex markup for such a simple
table
like the one above, I think it probably should be.
Yea, perhaps. I'd vote for 'scope', though.
When the options are badgering innumerable authors into doing
something and making relatively few users agents implement slightly
smarter heuristics, the latter should win.
